Kirzner’s attempt to build bridges between the Austrian School and other approaches: evidence from lesser known works

Abstract

The paper presents the economic thought of Israel Kirzner, expressed in book reviews, commentaries, and responses that he has written throughout his career. It proposes to investigate and systematize the characteristics of the author’s economic thought that emerge in this material: his relationship with the Misesian praxeology, other perspectives of the theory of entrepreneurship, and his perception of different economic schools of thought. The material chosen is justified by the professional engagement of Kirzner, who sought to dialogue with other economic schools.

Keywords:
